Synopsis

Drawing upon frameworks from the Social Sciences and based on the discipline of International Relations, starting from an appreciation of the Australian context, the course provides information about, and analysis of, contemporary issues, international relationships and cross-cultural processes. It emphasises the main themes of globality, glocality and human security. The evolution of the "Australia experience" and Australians' evolving perceptions roles and impacts on, primarily, the Asia-Pacific region-and of peoples of the Asia-pacific in Australia, will be examined. Particular attention will be given to the personal and social concerns and skills that facilitate Australia's role in the region, as well as to the personal and institutional linkages that are essential to that role.
